Summary

On February 8, 2019, Patrick McGinnity announced plans to move brewing, kitchen, and bar equipment from storage into a Beaver Island brewery the next day. The request identified the McGinnity house on Maple Street as the loading site and sought trucks, trailers, and a plow.

Evidence limits
